The music Ella Williams makes as Squirrel Flower has always communicated a strong sense of place. Her self-released debut EP, 2015’s early winter songs from middle america, was written during her first year living in Iowa, where the winter months make those of her hometown, Boston, seem quaint by comparison. Since that first offering, Squirrel Flower amassed a fanbase beyond the Boston DIY scene and has released two more EPs and two full-lengths. The most recent, Planet (i), was laden with climate anxiety, while the subsequent Planet EP marked an important turning point in Williams’ prolific career; the collection of demos was the first self-produced material she’d released in some time. With a renewed confidence as a producer, she helmed her new album Tomorrow’s Fire at Drop of Sun Studios in Asheville alongside storied engineer Alex Farrar.

Before Tomorrow’s Fire, Squirrel Flower might’ve been labeled something like “indie folk,” but this is a rock record, made to be played loud. As if to signal this shift, the album opens with the soaring “i don’t use a trash can,” a re-imagining of the first ever Squirrel Flower song. Williams returns to her past to demonstrate her growth as an artist and to nod to those early shows, when her voice, looped and minimalistic, had the power to silence a room. Lead singles “Full Time Job” and “When a Plant is Dying,” narrate the universal desperation that comes with living as an artist and pushing up against a world where that’s a challenging thing to be. The frustration in Williams’ lyrics is echoed by the music’s uninhibited, ferocious production. “There must be more to life/ Than being on time,” she sings on the latter’s towering chorus. Lyrics like that one are fated to become anthemic, and Tomorrow’s Fire overflows with them. “Doing my best is a full time job/ But it doesn’t pay the rent” Williams sings on “Full Time Job” over careening feedback, her steady delivery imposing order over a song that is, at its heart, about a loss of control.

Closing track “Finally Rain” speaks to the ambiguity of being a young person staring down climate catastrophe. The last verse is an homage to Williams’ relationship with her loved ones — ‘We won’t grow up.’ A stark realization, but also a manifesto. To be resolutely committed to a life of not ‘growing up,’ not losing our wonder while we’re still here.

A live reading series featuring new science fiction from Cole and special guest writers, underscored with futurist soundscapes by accomplished musicians. Two writers spin original science fiction, and one musician underscores the readings with complementary auditory landscapes. We focus on Science Fiction because we need to be thinking of the future as a society, for a multitude of reasons: we need to be seeing and talking about ourselves and each other in new ways- seeing people of color, women, queer folks, and immigrants in the future- showing folks in positions of power, showing different ways of leading, etc. Society also needs to think about the effects of continuing to mistreat the planet, humans, plants, and animals; but also to envision new ways of doing things (or imagining old ways of doing things in the future).

Award-winning author Thomas Maltman will be in conversation with the legendary William Kent Krueger to discuss ASHES TO ASHES.

Musician Nate Boots will open the event with a few songs.

Tickets are $10 per person and include one $5 coupon good toward the purchase of ASHES TO ASHES.

Valley Bookseller will be on site selling copies of the authors' work. Both authors will be signing after the event.

ABOUT ASHES TO ASHES

Small-town Minnesota teenager Basil “The Brute” Thorson—a shy, reluctant wrestling star and “special” tracked into special education classes—vows to make his family whole again in the wake of multiple tragedies, during a year in which his community is roiled by strange religious and mythological events.

Another perceptive and empathetic novel from the author of Indie Next and All Iowa Reads selection Little Wolves, blending myth, history, and religion with a nuanced look at contemporary rural life, perfect for fans of Marilynne Robinson, Richard Russo, and Paul Harding.

PRAISE FOR ASHES TO ASHES

“Thomas Maltman’s poignant Ashes to Ashes is far and away the best novel I’ve read this year. Compassionate and lyrically written, it’s a story about mysteries, those of the past and the present, as well as the eternal mysteries of the human heart. I fell in love with this book from the very first page. I guarantee you will too.”
—William Kent Krueger, author of This Tender Land

“Ashes to Ashes is an original, daring, and sensitive novel that spans centuries of time in its search for community, family, and safety. This is a novel for every outsider battling the urge to leave their safe life behind in favor of unknown horizons, and for every intrepid explorer who does. Maltman’s book is part small-town bildungsroman and part rollicking Viking epic, but it is absolutely a page-turner and a delight.” 
-Nickolas Butler, author of Shotgun Lovesongs and A Forty Year Kiss

“Ashes to Ashes explores myth, religion, and rural America in this exquisite work of both prose and poetry. Known for his deeply nuanced portraits of small towns in Minnesota and the characters that populate them, Thomas Maltman will leave readers with much to savor and discuss with friends. Maltman joins the elite ranks of writers who are producing new classics.”
—Pamela Klinger Horn

“The story of a small town that reads like an epic. I don’t know what impressed me most — the superbly crafted prose, the deeply felt characters, or the mythological and religious quest of the reading experience. I’m in awe.”
— Benjamin Percy, author of The Ninth Metal, Red Moon, Thrill Me, and Refresh, Refresh.

“Ashes to Ashes unfolds in a rural small town, but there is nothing insular or quaint in this story of outsiders—a grieving daughter, a misunderstood son, and a stunted boy-giant, all inspired by the spirit of a centuries-old explorer to discover and claim their own lives. Thomas Maltman has written a wise and deeply empathetic novel. As contemporary as an Instagram post and yet resonant with history, this is the best book I have read all year.”
—Lin Enger, author of American Gospel

After decades of scouring through historical texts, digging through ancient archives, and discovering the ruins of several societies once thought lost to time, we are pleased to present “Footloose” in its entirety, as it was originally meant to be performed.

Some may say this show combines the people and themes of the other notable works of the eternal bard, Kevin Bacon; but they would of course be mistaken. These are adapted ancient texts - epic poems really - and this is a VERY serious show for VERY serious people who are VERY interested in historical theatre.
